I'm Just Wondering About Flying For A Little Over An Hour. What Does Anyone Do? I Don't Have Oxygen. Advise Me Of Your Experiences
Pretty much it. First time flying with copd. VA won't give me oxygen and my Dr. says I shouldn't have any problem but I don't really
believe him. Its the va. Need I say more? lol
I guess my first message didn't take. I've flown 3 times this yr without a problem. I use 02 at night and have severe COPD. My doc said it would be OK and it was. My 02 company sent a concentrator to my destination and it was there waiting for me and at no cost! No problems at all. Hope this helps.
Also call ahead and they will have a wheelchair waiting for u and someone will push u thru airport and onto plane. Just call ahead. Makes it very easy.
I fly every year to Mexico 10hour flight just make sure I have my inhalers on me had no problems
Oh wow. What happened on the way back?? I have been walking pretty good last few days. I guess the increased walking is helping. ;) Yea. I'm only going an hour. I just had another cat scan last week. It says I have moderate emphysema. So that's better than severe. Oh. An my lung cancer just disappeared. Crazy huh????

The air line has o2 in case. Just tell them of your concern. I flew back from cal. No problem going out but coming back I got an attack. The stewardess gave me theirs and no problem changed over in chic. They gave me a nebulizer treatment and I was ok for my trip to indy.
I'm Wondering Why People Who Struggling To Breathe Unable To Do Anything Don't Go On 02 Supplement.

I Can't Sleep Laying Down Is This Part Of COPD?
